A series of events addressing female empowerment in the workplace and women's health and happiness began in January. Spurred by the fifth World Assembly for Women in collaboration with Women 20, which are scheduled for March 23 and 24, and International Women's Day that fell on March 8, they will continue until May.
The bulk of these events will also take place in March and are hosted by various governments, municipalities, companies and other organizations.
One such event was the March 4 symposium, "Women Health Week Event," organized by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Experts discussed health-related challenges faced by women at the Itoki Tokyo Innovation Center SYNQA in Chuo Ward.
